Medical Negligence

Medical negligence can be a common cause of illnesses, injuries, and general damage to the body. Medical professionals have a responsibility to ensure that their patients are diagnosed and treated correctly, but sometimes things can go wrong which can result in patients suffering badly from the damages.

Can I make a claim?

As a patient, you are entitled to a duty of care by the medical professionals responsible for you. Although the majority of procedures carried out are successful, mishaps can sometimes happen for reasons such as:

  • Inaccurate or late diagnosis
  • Failure to take tests or misinterpretation of test results
  • Poor operative technique
  • Damage to nerves during surgical procedures

If you feel that you have suffered unnecessarily as a result of clinical negligence, you may be eligible to claim compensation.

    Considering Making a Claim for Medical Negligence?

    Medical and clinical negligence claims arise when someone has suffered an injury or illness because they have not been cared for correctly by a medical professional, or a body of medical professionals.

    There are many times in our lives when we have to place our trust in hospital staff, a GP or a surgeon. In the majority of instances, medical care is of a high level and trained medical practitioners look after patients well.

    However, there are some occasions where care has not been taken and mistakes have happened. If the mistake during your care was not your fault then you could be eligible to make a medical negligence claim.

    Different Types of Medical Negligence Claims

    Claiming for medical negligence can relate to any number of different scenarios where you have placed your trust in a health professional and they have not adhered to their duty of care.

    Below are some common circumstances which can lead to medical negligence compensation claims:

    • Misdiagnosis or wrong diagnosis claims occur when a diagnosis has been made incorrectly. This can result in the wrong treatment and advice being given which can have serious consequences for patients.
    • If you have presented symptoms of an illness to a medical professional and he/she has failed to diagnose you, this could lead to an illness not being treated, allowing it time to progress and possibly reach a stage where it is untreatable. These types of claims are referred to as late diagnosis claims
    • Delay in treatment claims can stem from a late diagnosis or because there has been an unnecessary waiting time for an appointment due to poor administrative coordination, for example.
    • Hospital bug claims like MRSA can sometimes arise if there has been a poor level of hygiene in the hospital environment where you are staying.
    • Failed surgery compensation can be claimed if there has been a mistake during an operation that has led to a delay in recovery, further medical problems and/or scarring
    • Birth injury claims an example of a birth injury is when a baby is born with a lack of oxygen which can lead to a brain injury and cause a condition such as cerebral palsy which has life-changing effects on the whole family.
